ll ART SHOW tm. N., THE ART A painting is not necessarily an imitation of nature. Art is an outward expression of an artist's perceived reality and is, in a sense, an abstraction of the reality of Nature. Pablo Picasso arranged different views of a three- dimensional world in a simultaneous manner on a two- dimensional surface. Furthermore, Picasso flattened those recognizable three-dimensional forms, in a departure from his predecessors, to emphasize the two-dimensional quality of the canvas, and, in doing so, influenced every artist to follow. The paintings and sculpture of Wardell Jackson exhibit some of Picasso's ideas and influence through his use of the overlapping planes, forms, and simultaneous perspective. A careful study of Wardell's work indicates a growing and progressive concern with similar thoughts of Picasso. A consideration of the color used in Wardell's paintings, however, shows a movement from a subtle use to one that is more dramatic and exciting. This dramatic color use is the inward reality of Wardell Jackson beginning to surface. Art is that use of the inner reality through color that marks Wardell Jackson a true artist. in---H 5-- T..-if rf , T15 23
